14. Effectiveness and Expiration of the Contract. This Contract shall be effective as of January 1, 2022, and shall end on December 31, 2024, subject to earlier termination as provided herein.

The Parties may renew the Contract by written agreement, which will be executed on or before its expiration date. The Parties are not obligated to renew the Contract. If either party wishes to renew the Contract, it will notify the other party in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Contract. If either party gives notice of its intention to renew but the other does not wish to renew the Contract, or if the Parties both notify their intention to renew but do not reach an agreement as to the terms of the renewed contract, the employment of the CEO will terminate and the Contract will expire on December 31, 2024, except for Articles 17, 19 and 20, which shall survive such expiration. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described above in this paragraph, TSM will pay the CEO the equivalent of one year's Base Salary in monthly installments and will extend the Fringe Benefits for one year, but only if the CEO was not the party notifying his interest not to renew the Contract.

If the negotiations for a new contract extend beyond the expiration date and the CEO continues performing his services to TSM, TSM will continue to pay the CEO in accordance with Articles 9 and 12 of this Contract until such date as a new contract is signed or either party notifies, in writing, its decision to discontinue the negotiations, at which time all further CEO compensation will cease, except that TSM will pay the CEO the equivalent of one year's Base Salary in monthly installments and will extend the Fringe Benefits for one year if the CEO is not the party that notifies its decision to discontinue the negotiations. The CEO and TSM hereby accept and acknowledge that the Contract will not be automatically renewed nor deemed to have been renewed because of the continuation of the negotiations beyond the expiration date.

Upon the expiration of this Contract or discontinuation of the negotiations described above, the CEO will also have the right to payment of the deferred compensation under Article 10, all vested amounts under the LTIP and 401-K benefit plan, and the compensation described in the second paragraph of Article 15 related to vesting of equity and other awards under the LTIP. All amounts payable and benefits provided pursuant to this Article, other than vested amounts under the LTIP and deferred compensation, shall only be payable after the CEO has executed, delivered to TSM, and not revoked within any applicable revocation period, a waiver and general release of claims against TSM in a form satisfactory to TSM (a “Release”).

15. Termination Without Cause. The Parties agree that TSM has full rights to unilaterally terminate this Contract and the CEO’s employment hereunder Without Cause at any time prior to its expiration date, provided that the terms of Articles 17, 19 and 20 shall continue in effect. In such event of termination, the only obligations of TSM under this Contract will be to:

pay to the CEO the Base Salary up to the normal expiration date of this Contract, or the Base Salary of one year, whichever is greater, withholding from said payments those amounts pursuant to law. TSM shall have the option to make that payment in a lump sum or in monthly payments, which will not extend beyond the period remaining of the Contract or one year, whichever is greater;

extend to the CEO the Fringe Benefits for the remainder of the term of this Contract or one year, whichever is longer;

pay any deferred compensation under Article 10; and

pay all amounts related to the CEO's rights under the LTIP (including the compensation described in the second paragraph of this Article 15 related to vesting of equity and other awards under the LTIP) and 401-K benefit plan.

In addition, as of the date of the CEO's termination Without Cause (i) all Options and SARs of the CEO shall become fully and immediately exercisable and (ii) all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable and forthwith be delivered to the CEO if not previously delivered, and (iii) the percentage of any Performance Awards that would have been earned at the end of any given Performance Period based on actual results in accordance with the corresponding Award Agreement had the CEO's employment not terminated shall vest pro-rata (i.e., based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months elapsed from the beginning of the Performance Period to the date of the CEO's termination of employment, and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period). Delivery of any such Restricted Stock Units within fifteen (15) days following the date of the expiration of any revocation period contained in the Release (or such other period provided by law) and payment of the value of any Performance Award shall be made within two and one-half months after the end of calendar year during which such award becomes vested. For purposes of this Contract, the terms "Options," "SARs," "Restricted Stock," "Restricted Stock Units," "Performance Award," "Performance Period" and "Award Agreements" shall have the meanings given to them in the LTIP.

All amounts payable and benefits provided pursuant to this Article other than vested amounts under the LTIP and deferred compensation shall only be payable after the CEO has executed, delivered to TSM, and not revoked within any applicable revocation period, the Release.

16. Termination With Cause. It will be understood that TSM shall have "Cause" for the termination of this Contract and the employment of the CEO hereunder, when the CEO incurs in any of the following:

material breach of his obligations and duties as specified in this Contract;

conviction or allegation of nolo contendere of any felony or the conviction or allegation of nolo contendere of a misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonest or disreputable conduct or moral turpitude;

insubordination;

material non-compliance of this Contract or the rules, regulations, guidelines, policies, or code of ethics of TSM;

improper or disorderly conduct; or

the existence of a conflict of interest not previously disclosed to the Board.

Should the termination of this Contract by TSM be for Cause, or should this Contract be terminated due to CEO's resignation or death, the CEO will not have a right to further compensation, payment, or any benefit under this Contract as of the date of the termination. Notwithstanding the above, the CEO will have the right to receive payment of the Base Salary earned up to the termination date; the liquidation of Other Benefits accumulated up to such date; the payment of the amount accumulated as deferred compensation pursuant to Article 10 of this Contract; and the payments regarding the vested rights under the LTIP (including, as applicable, the compensation described in the second paragraph of Article 15 related to vesting of equity and other awards under the LTIP) and 401-K benefit plan.

17. Confidentiality. The CEO recognizes that the knowledge of information concerning, or the relations with the employees, clients, and agents of TSM and its Business that the CEO has acquired and acquires during his employment with TSM are valuable and exclusive assets of TSM. The CEO accepts that he will not use for his benefit or for the benefit of third parties, nor disclose, without the written consent of TSM, any information, data, documentation or material or substantial knowledge about TSM and its Business, its personnel, or its plans, to any person, company, corporation, or other entity for any reason. The CEO accepts that all memoranda, notes, records, and other documents, as well as information maintained electronically, generated, or compiled by the CEO or which has been made available to the CEO about TSM’s Business, its employees and its clients are the exclusive property of TSM and will be returned by the CEO to TSM at the conclusion of his employment or at any other time at the request of TSM.

The CEO accepts that the services he renders and will render to TSM are of a special and unique nature and that consequently, he will have and has had access to confidential information about TSM’s Business and its clients. Hence, the CEO is aware that if he materially breaches any of the provisions of this Contract with regard to these confidentiality agreements and non-use of the confidential information, TSM may suffer irreparable damage, and, therefore, in addition to any other remedy which TSM may have under this Contract or the law, TSM will have the right to request an injunction restraining the CEO from breaching or continuing to breach the provisions of this Contract. The term "Confidential Information" includes, but is not limited to:

The information described above;

Proprietary information of TSM or its clients;

Information marked or designated by TSM as confidential;

Information, written or unwritten, and in any manner and regardless of not having been designated as confidential, which the CEO knows is treated as confidential by TSM; and

Information provided to TSM by third parties that TSM is in the obligation of maintaining confidential, specifically including client lists and client information.

"Confidential Information" does not include any information that becomes public without the CEO's fault, is public in nature or is collected routinely by companies like TSM.

The provisions of this Article 17 will survive and continue in effect after the expiration or earlier termination of this Contract for any reason.

18. Documents. At the termination of this Contract, the CEO agrees to return all the documents, objects, materials, and other information obtained by him about the Business of TSM, recognizing, in turn, that said documents, objects, materials and related information constitute the exclusive property of TSM.

19. TSM Personnel; Non-Disparagement; Anti-Raiding. The CEO agrees not to solicit nor promote that the personnel of TSM and/or its Subsidiary Corporations end, voluntarily or involuntarily, their employment to join him or third parties in other efforts that are not for the benefit of TSM during the duration of this Contract and during twelve (12) months after the expiration or earlier termination of this Contract.

During the employment period and always thereafter, neither CEO nor CEO's agents or representatives shall directly or indirectly issue or communicate any public statement, or statement likely to become public, that maligns, denigrates, or disparages the Company or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Company's officers, director, or employees). The foregoing shall not be violated by (i) truthful statements made in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or in response to legal process or governmental inquiry or (ii) by private statements to the Company or any of Company's officers, directors, or employees: provided, that in the case of CEO, with respect to clause (ii), such statements are made in the course of carrying out CEO's duties pursuant to this Agreement. Likewise, during the CEO’s Company Employment and always thereafter, the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of its members directly or indirectly issue or communicate any public statement, or statement likely to become public that maligns, denigrates, or disparages CEO. The foregoing shall not be violated by (i) truthful statements made in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or in response to legal process or governmental inquiry or by private statements made by the Company to any of Company's officers or directors.

20. Recoupment Policy. The CEO agrees that all payments or benefits under different provisions of this Contract are subject to TSM’s Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy, as such policy may be amended from time to time.

21. Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree to try to resolve in good faith any dispute arising under this Contract or related to its termination using the most cost-effective resources and will try to avoid any unnecessary costs. In addition, the Parties shall make all good faith efforts to maintain all information regarding any dispute confidential.

22. Arbitration. If the Parties are not able to resolve any dispute under this Contract or related to its termination, for any reason, including alleged violations of the laws of Puerto Rico or of the United States of America, which prohibit the discrimination in employment, these will be resolved by arbitration under the provisions of the Regulations of the American Arbitration Association, by an arbitrator selected according to said provisions. The process will be commenced by the filing of a petition for arbitration to said agency. The costs of the arbitrator's fees, and other expenses inherent to the proceeding, will be paid by TSM. Each party will cover its own legal costs and attorney's fees. The CEO and TSM specifically waive to process their claims in the courts of Puerto Rico or in the federal courts of the United States and will submit them to the arbitration proceeding agreed to herein. The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator will be firm, final, and unappealable.

23. Change of Control.

If during the term of this Contract there occurs a "Change of Control" of TSM, as this term is defined in sub-paragraph "c" of this Article 23, and as a result thereof the CEO resigns for "Good Reason" (as such term is defined below) or is terminated from his employment Without Cause, the CEO will have the right to receive from TSM a compensation for termination in consideration for having remained as an employee of TSM and having failed to pursue other present or potential professional or business opportunities. Such compensation for termination will be a sum equivalent to twice the "Total Compensation" (as such term is defined below) of the CEO, payable on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date on which the CEO concludes his employment because of a Change of Control. TSM will also provide for the continuation of the Fringe Benefits then in effect during twenty-four (24) months. The Fringe Benefits shall not be payable in a lump sum and TSM's obligation to pay such Fringe Benefits will cease as soon as the CEO obtains employment with a comparable benefit. Such compensation for termination shall be in substitution of, and not in addition to, any compensation to which the CEO is entitled under Articles 14, 15 or 16, but will not substitute his rights to payment of the deferred compensation under Article 10 and all vested amounts under the LTIP (including the compensation described in the second paragraph of Article 15 related to vesting of equity and other awards under the LTIP) and the 401-K benefit plan.

For purposes of this Article 23, the term "Total Compensation" means: (i) the highest Base Salary of the CEO paid to him in any of the three (3) years prior to the date of the Change of Control, in addition to the average of the STDB of the three (3) years prior to said date.

A "Change of Control" will be understood to have occurred if:

(i)

any party acquires ownership of TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) or more of the total votes required for the election of the directors of TSM's Board of Directors, or of such amount which, based on the cumulative vote, if this were allowed by the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of TSM, would permit such party to elect TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) or more of the directors of TSM;

(ii)

as a result of, or in connection with, a tender offer or exchange offer of TSM stock, a consolidation, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or any combination of the aforementioned transactions, the persons who were directors of the Board prior to such transaction fail to constitute a majority of the board of directors of TSM or its successor;

(iii)

there is a change of at least 30% of the directors of TSM's Board of Directors as a result of a "proxy fight", as such term is defined in Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

(iv)

a sale or transfer of substantially all the assets of TSM to another corporation not affiliated to TSM occurs.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 23, a Change of Control of TSM will not be deemed to have occurred in the event that TSM suffers a corporate reorganization which does not materially alter the composition of directors, or the percentage of votes owned by the existing stockholders.

"Good Reason" for purposes of this Article 23 shall mean:

(i)

a change in the nature or scope of the CEO's duties or functions from those performed on the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control;

(ii)

a reduction in the CEO's Base Salary from that received on the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control;

(iii)

a reduction in the CEO's ability to participate in the compensation plans, such as bonus, stock options, incentives, or other compensation plans, in which he participated on the date immediately preceding the Change of Control, which reduction will be determined in comparison to the opportunities that TSM provides to executives with comparable duties or the opportunities of participation that the CEO had under said plans on the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control;

(iv)

a change in the location of the CEO's principal place of employment of more than twenty-five miles from the place where the CEO maintained his work office on the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control; or

(v)

the reasonable determination by the Board to the effect that, because of the Change of Control and a change in the circumstances thereafter affecting the employment position of the CEO, the CEO is unable to exercise the authority, powers, functions, or duties assigned to his position in TSM on the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

25. No waiver. The failure by either of the Parties at any time to require performance or compliance by the other of any of its obligations or agreement shall in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at any time thereafter.

31. Counterparts. This Contract may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which, taken together, constitute one and the same agreement.

32. Separability. If any term of this Contract is declared void or illegal, the rest of its terms will continue in full force and effect.
